this has been a busy week, except for monday, when jas & i just went to work.
tuesday we went to a show at the showbox for
the classic crime. jas's friend kelly's brother, robbie, is a guitarist in the band. we took adam (my 12 year old nephew) with us, and it just happened to be his 1st experience with live music. unbelievably, i forgot my camera so i made jas get me a disposable camera when we got there. i'll post the pictures once i get them developed.
there were 5 bands in all and the classic crime was headlining so we had a long wait. we had a good time though; much of it spent making fun of the emo boy rockers in super tight girl pants who were trying way too hard. the classic crime was definitely the best of the group.
at the end of the show jason decided he HAD to join the teenie-bopper crowd moshing to the last song. he hurt his thumb while saving some kid who was falling after crowd surfing. i actually laughed when he told me...nice wife, huh?
wednesday was my day off which meant a million errands, including taking jas to the polyclinic for xrays (thanks debbie) of his very swollen thumb.
when i got home my mom & i took mataio to toy's r us to spend his birthday money from us. we've done this for the last year and it's great; we get to have a fun time picking a present (or presents) the kids really want.
mataio got floam, a stinky monster and a spider-man scooter that included a helmet, elbow pads and knee pads...very cool.
thursday we drove up to bow washington (near bellingham) and hung out with the fleek family. jason's been friends with alton since highschool. we had a great time hanging out, eating fabulous food, playing games and just getting caught up.
friday jason went in to the clinic and left with a cast.
it's not broken, but he severely sprained his thumb tendon. they casted it so that it could heal without further injury. being jason he of course picked black for his cast color.
after work we went to see his friend dylans band,
dudley, at a battle of the bands show at studio 7. we've seen dudley a couple of other times but this time was the best. we had a great time hanging with chris, wes, mike & lindley afterwards at the viking where they have amazing nachos.
i must say i am very happy that saturday was just a lazy day at home. this week was just too busy for me.
kial joined the middle school girls' volleyball team this year. there was such a big turnout they split the team into a varsity and a junior varsity team. being her 1st year, and a lowly 6th grader, kial was put on the jv team with her other 6th grade friends. there are 7 girls on the jv team and since you need 6 to play each one counts and gets lots of playing time.
